Devin Brennan-McBride out for year

Devin Brennan-McBride, the 6-foot-9 high school senior who signed with Syracuse University in the fall, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his injured shoulder and miss the remainder of his season.

I talked with John Walsh, the assistant coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in London, Ontario, on Wednesday. He said Brennan-McBride saw a doctor earlier this week after his shoulder, which he injured in the first game of the season back in early December, had not healed as expected.

The diagnosis: Brennan-McBride has a torn labrum. He will undergo surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said the procedure wasn't "a big deal.'' He said Brennan-McBride will be fine.
